Road Closure Updates: Fapp Circle, Gary Avenue

WHEATON, IL — Commuters should expect a road closure on Fapp Circle and a delay to the start of road work on Gary Avenue.

On Fapp Circle, a special event will close part of the road on March 22 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. The closure will affect traffic between Wyndemerre Senior Living and the Fapp Circle Target entrance.

Drivers can use the Target lot or County Farm and Roosevelt Roads to get around the closure.

The kickoff for crews to begin the next phase of work on Gary Avenue has been postponed by a week. The work will now begin on March 24, per an update from city officials.

This phase of work will include major improvements near to Prairie Avenue Intersection, including the addition of a traffic signal and turning lane. A crosswalk will also be added to accommodate pedestrians.

Additional upgrades include widening the roadway and installing storm sewers.

Detours will be in effect for residents who live near the project site. This phase of work is expected to last into summer, with the aim to wrap the project by fall.
